Before you do anything else it will be helpful to read the talk,More Diligent and Concerned at Home, by Elder Bednar. It emphasizes the purpose of FHE and gives hope for those times when you're not sure if what you are teaching is sinking in (like every single week!).

Download and print anFHE Assignment Chart. It is important to share responsibilities, even with very young children. Click the link above to download FHE charts for families with between 4 and 10 members. Full instructions are included..

HOME - Takes you to the most recent blog post.

FREE LESSON PLANS - I planned out themes and lesson topics for the entire year (for 3 years). Click this tab on top to see an overview of the entire year. If you are following along for an entire month you will notice a Monthly Theme. The theme is a central topic which all lessons and activities will be structured around. Each month also has a SONG OF THE MONTH which supports the monthly theme. This is a song I want my children to really learn well. We practice our S.O.T.M. after the lesson portion of our Family Home Evening each week. Every Song of the Month will have a printable poster, word chart or teaching idea to help your kids learn the words.

MY FREEBIES - This has an easy list of download-able freebies I have designed specifically for this site. Feel free to use them and share them with others. However, lesson plans, themes and original artwork may NOT be reproduced for SALE or for any financial gain.

LDS COLORING PAGES - This is a list, sorted alphabetically, of coloring and activity pages from that I have created for this blog.

SPONSORS - This is where I share information on my wonderful Sponsors! I do not accept sponsors unless I love their product or services and think you will too! Click the link to see their products and support them.ABOUT - Here's where you can learn a little bit about me and my family. As the blog author I know you want to know a bit about me. You can always ask me questions via email at aYEARofFHE at gmail dot com.

CONTACT - Where you can find my email to contact me.

Tell Others - Share this site with members of your Ward, relatives near and far and even non-member families. Wouldn't it be fun if extended families followed the same FHE schedule each week and could share experiences between cousins, siblings and Grandparents? Write a blurb on your blog, grab a site button (available in the side bar), and share through Facebook.

Share Experiences - I suggest that all families take pictures of their FHE experiences each week. Wouldn't this be a wonderful record to look back on in years to come of your best and most righteous efforts to teach your children? I would love to feature families from all over the country and the world, using these lessons, activities and resources on this blog. Tag @ayearoffhe on Social Media!

If you choose the magnet idea, they also work great for "quiet" activities on the back of the folding chairs at church...yes, we are usually late and sit in the back, and I found this out by accident! :D Thanks so much for the awesome site! I am really excited to use some of your ideas to better our FHE's!

Thank you for putting this altogether. What an amazing resource! I appreciate this kind of thing- and will definitely be using this :) I have three little ones and we need all the FHE help we can get :) Thanks so much!

Well, just found your blog now so hopefully it will stay up so I can do it this year! We'll see how it goes! btw, since you're Mormon, if you're ever looking for LDS Temple fine art photography, look me up! www.BusyBumbleBeePhotography.com. I'll give you a great discount for all your hard work I'm about to use :)

What a great site! I have been feeling urged recently to start weekly FHE with my kiddos but have been dreading putting them together. Now, because of all your hard work, I will have awesome, well-planned lessons for my kids every week. Thank you so much for sharing your work with us, I'll definitely be passing this along.

i am new to your site but SO excited i found it! i'll admit, we are awful at FHE but am hoping to get on track with help from here. THANK YOU so much for putting the time, energy, and thought into all of this. you have definitely inspired me to do my part :)

I agree with Amy. This is a great site and has been a great resource for my family and I. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for all you have done to make FHE a little easier for those who struggle with it. You rock!

I just came across your site and am SO excited. THANK YOU, THANK YOU for making FHE so much easier for a working mommy with 3 busy little ones! I appreciate your efforts in helping me teach my children.

I just stumbled upon your site and am so grateful for the effort you put in. As a new member with a young daughter it can be hard to teach her lessons that I myself am learning so this is a really helpful resource. Thank you so much.

Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to not only bless your family, but so many others. We have a one year old and have been struggling with how to institute family home evening. Your blog is an excellent resource, and makes me feel like we can actually do it! I really appreciate your sharing all of your work, and will be checking back quite often! Best regards to you and your family.

Thank you for taking the time to do this and share it with others. You're a blessing! I found your blog through pinterest. I'm a convert to the lds church and struggle to do this regularly. My kids are 3 and 6 and these lessons look perfect and your efforts will certainly make fhe easier to accomplish for my family. Thanks again.

What a wonderful service that you give!!! Being a mom to many (10) I don't have a lot of time, or money, to do something as beautiful and wonderful as this in this season of my life, making our FHE's almost non-existent. I appreciate the hard work you give that goes into these! This will make allowing my children to pick and teach their own FHE very simple, and will allow me a bit more freedom. Thank you again!!! MANY thanks and Best wishes!

Totally impressed with your site!! Just got done visiting teaching and afterwards felt impressed to create a year of FHE lessons. Your site is so simple. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this! Much appreciated!!

Wow!! I did not know you even existed until I was looking for some talks on Baptism and the Holy Ghost and was looking on Sugardoodle and ran into your site!! Thanks from the bottom of my heart! I do not do things like this so I am very impressed that you do and will share with people like me. Thanks, Gay

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I've been wanting to regularly do FHE for five years now. My daughter loves it and begs for it every night, but the planning is just too much. Thank you for making this possible for our family. You are truly an answer to a prayer.

This is perfect for what we need for our kids right now. Next time i blog, i will definatley share your site!my blog is summerglenchandler.blogspot.com. thanku again!!

I just wanted to say I am a mom of 6 struggling with Family Home Evenings, and I was trying to start a file of them. This site was inspired by the spirit for me to search out for and I hope you know your efforts are noticed, appreciated, and used by me and others who need the same spiritual strength in their lives. Thank you so much for taking time to do something of this magnitude!

I am always so grateful when wonderful people like yourself are willing to share their talents with the rest of us! How grateful I am to have stumbled upon your site (with divine intervention) to gather ideas on how to make FHE successful. Thank you for your willingness to share!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I am so excited to do FHE with my family and you take all the guess work out. I have been using your lesson ideas for a while and now want to really do your full lessons. We really appreciate all your hard work.
